I suspect that a full strace output from the cryptsetup run would be
useful in attempting to track this down.

However, the first thing that strikes me is that your log does not
show conclusively that the kernel is working with current data,
particularly partition offsets data.

I can see no reason why cryptsetup would be working with any device
other than the one named.

Assuming udev (otherwise adjust as appropriate), a udev device re-scan
between creating the partitions and luksFormat would be a good first
step. Also confirm that doing so refreshes the partition device nodes,
for example by first wiping all partitioning information and showing
conclusively that no partitions are found by the kernel (for example
by `hdparm -z` and showing us the relevant `dmesg` output and /dev
contents), then partitioning and showing conclusively that the newly
created partitions are found and reflected in the device nodes.
